Mustang Brakes 1964-2017

The brakes in your Mustang are some of the most important parts in the car, yet often the most neglected. Many owners focus only on increasing performance and don't worry about the condition of the Mustang Brakes that are going to stop their car. No matter what year Mustang you have, CJ Pony Parts has the braking components that you need, whether you're upgrading the performance or replacing components that have worn from age and use.

Brakes

Depending on what year Mustang you have and how it has been treated, your Mustang brakes might be in several different conditions. Some classic Mustangs are very old, not well maintained or have not been used in many years, resulting in Mustang Brakes that aren't even functional. These owners are likely looking for parts that can bring their Mustang brakes back to working condition, or will upgrade them for increased performance over stock, like many classic owners do by adding power assist to their braking systems.

One very popular upgrade for classic Mustang brakes is brake conversion. Classic Mustangs, like the 1964.5, 1965, and 1966 Mustang came from the factory with manual brakes, with no power option available, and drum brakes all around. For ease of driving, many owners will upgrade to power Mustang brakes and, in the process, make the conversion to disc brakes for more stopping power and better reliability. CJ Pony Parts sells many kits for classic Mustangs to allow owners to find everything they need to convert their Mustang brakes, all in one convenient package.

Another popular conversion involving Mustang brakes involves 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 Mustangs, which originally came from the factory with 4-lug front and rear axles. Many owners take on this conversion to get better Mustang brakes, since the original brakes aren't known to be the best. There are also many more wheel options available for 5-lug Mustangs, which is an additional benefit beyond the better Mustang brakes. CJ Pony Parts sells many Mustang brakes for 5-lug conversions, making these conversions easy!

Other owners, from nearly every year range of Mustang, have to occasionally do work on their Mustang brakes, since Mustang brakes typically wear with regular use and need replaced. To help these owners, CJ Pony Parts has all of the Mustang Brake Pads, Mustang Brake Rotors and brake calipers for replacing worn Mustang brakes and to make those Mustangs much more able to stop and, as a result, much safer. These owners may also desire to replace the worn parts on their Mustang brakes with performance or styled brake parts, which can turn it into a big upgrade to both the looks and stopping distance.

Other owners of new and performance Mustangs are frequently looking for more styling and better performance from their Mustang brakes. While their original parts are usually perfectly fine, these upgrades to their Mustang brakes can enhance both the look of the brakes and shorten the stopping distance. These upgrades can also be for safety, as their Mustang Engine is just too powerful for the stock brakes. Typically, these Mustang brakes include slotted rotors, like those from Power Slot, and custom styled caliper covers, like the ones from MGP Caliper Covers. For showing a Mustang at a car show, or racing on the drag strip, these new Mustang brakes can make a huge difference.
